Police in South Africa has arrested a woman for allegedly stabbing and killing a well-known rapper. Nkululeko Habedi, known as Flabba, was stabbed yesterday in his home in Alexandra, Johannesburg.

His girlfriend who has been arrested is accused of stabbing him to death. Police have announced she will be charged with murder and will appear in court within 48 hours. They however did not reveal what led to the argument before she allegedly stabbed him.

Habedi (38) was one of the founding members of Skwatta Kamp, which is largely credited with revolutionising the South African hip-hop industry.

South Africans have taken to social media to send their condolences to his family and friends.
